It does bring attention to the AACC. They also issued a pretty strong disclaimer (https://www.aacc.org/publications/cln/cln-stat/2016/july/5/theranos-to-present-technology https://www.aacc.org/publications/cln/cln-stat/2016/july/5/t...): > Holmes’ appearance does not reflect an endorsement of Theranos or its technology by AACC, and Theranos has not provided any financial contribution to AACC in exchange for the invitation to speak, nor has it provided any sponsorship monies or other forms of grants to AACC. I remember having to do a lot of paperwork to speak at medical conferences because of CME credentialing. I wonder what happened in this specific case?
